LOS ANGELES, April 30, 2014 – PROJECT GREENLIGHT, the documentary series chronicling the search for a first-time director and exploring the filmmaking process, will return to HBO for a new season, it was announced today by Michael Lombardo, president, HBO Programming. Executive producers of the new season include Ben Affleck and Matt Damon, who were executive producers of the previous two seasons on HBO in 2001 and 2003, as well as Adaptive Studios’ Marc Joubert, TJ Barrack, Perrin Chiles, Marshall Lewy and Miramax’s Zanne Devine. The new season of PROJECT GREENLIGHT is being produced for HBO by Adaptive Studios, Affleck and Damon’s Pearl Street Films, and Miramax.
“PROJECT GREENLIGHT was ahead of its time,” notes Affleck. “Now that technology has caught up to the concept, we thought it was a perfect time to bring it back. A whole new generation of filmmakers has grown up sharing everything, and the next big director could be just an upload away. It is really great having PROJECT GREENLIGHT back at HBO.”
Damon says, “PROJECT GREENLIGHT works — careers have been launched and sustained as a direct result of this contest. Pete Jones, John Gulager, Patrick Melton and Marcus Dunstan are just a few of the PGL alums who’ve gone on to do great things in Hollywood, and Ben and I are really proud of that.”
“We are delighted to reunite with Ben and Matt for a new season of PROJECT GREENLIGHT,” noted Lombardo. “This unique show offers a fascinating look inside moviemaking that is unlike anything else on TV.”
Full press release.

I just googled project greenlight and saw there was a blog by a woman named natalie greenlight that owned www.projectgreenlight.com. I wonder what HBO paid to have that website? They own it now. Just curious if anyone knows where to find the sales cost of domains.

Battle of Shaker Heights was the last one they did. Shia Labeouf is the main guy was shown a lot on the series. Found it very interesting.

That show was awesome. I only watched the season that was on Bravo when the horror movie won.

I think the last one they did was Feast.
I liked the show, it was cool to see the behind the scenes stuff for an entire project like that.
